Tesla owner Elon Musk, who has recently been appointed to a new role in President-elect Donald Trump's White House cabinet, has been a vocal advocate for increasing birth rates. Musk has consistently urged his followers to have more children, arguing that a population collapse due to declining birth rates poses a greater threat to civilisation than global warming. In a 2022 tweet, he stated, "Population collapse due to low birthrates is a much bigger risk to civilisation than global warming. (And I do think global warming is a major risk)."

Earlier in February, Elon Musk emphasised his stance on population growth, urging people to have more children, ideally three or more, to ensure humanity's expansion. He described the population collapse in many countries as a tragedy and joked that sales of adult diapers should never surpass those of baby diapers.

“It should be considered a national emergency to have kids,” the Tesla boss posted in June.

Elon Musk’s Sperm Offer to Nicole Shanahan

Elon Musk's advocacy for increasing birth rates has reportedly extended into personal territory. The New York Times revealed that Musk offered his sperm to Nicole Shanahan, Robert F Kennedy Jr's running mate, who declined. Additionally, at a dinner party last year, Musk offered to provide sperm to a married couple he barely knew after they shared their struggles with conception.

Musk reportedly boasted about his numerous children at a recent event, reinforcing his pro-natalist stance amid his alignment with right-wing politics and the 'MAGA' movement. While advocating for higher birth rates, his comments have sparked backlash.
